just something I had noticed.

Mine is how advertising targets women into thinking they are ugly,fat,worthless,poor mothers and need to buy whats being advertised to redeem themselves....thats why I hate TV...there are worse but currently this one actually is easily investigated...plus I am a woman and a mother.It irks me to see all the time spent on the oppression of women and capitalism...you would think things would be different by now!!!

of life without flinching, without hiding behind dogmas, wishful thinking, and slavish following of nonsensical texts and teachings?

From: http://www.lezbeout.com/ancientgaymarriageoftwomalesaints.htm

"Professor Boswell discovered that in addition to heterosexual marriage ceremonies in ancient church liturgical documents (and clearly separate from other types of non-marital blessings of adopted children or land) were ceremonies called, among other titles, the "Office of Same Sex Union" (10th and 11th century Greek) or the "Order for Uniting Two Men" (11th and 12th century).

These ceremonies had all the contemporary symbols of a marriage: a community gathered in a church, a blessing of the couple before the altar, their right hands joined as at heterosexual marriages, the participation of a priest, the taking of the Eucharist, a wedding banquet afterwards. All of which are shown in contemporary drawings of the same sex union of Byzantine Emperor Basil I (867-886) and his companion John."

Why deny and protest your own history?

I think this says a lot about the masses of people who are susceptible to religious "tendencies"

all I've learned I've read but I'm having a hard time retaining the info. I'm more of a hands on learner and retain better when there is some one there explaining in detail the answers to my questions.

There is this student at school that I have to sit next to in computer class. Some of my friends and I do cheerleading and he says cheerleaders are the hottest girls in school. He asked me if I had a boyfriend so I said I did...even though I don't. He also asked if I ever...done it with my boyfriend. He is really disgusting and I told my computer teacher what he said. In computers you are allowed to talk and the teacher is hard of hearing, and I sit in the back of the class next to that boy, so the teacher can't hear him say anything. He also kept asking who my "boyfriend" was, so I just said it was this guy named Nick, but he's my friend in real life and I like him also. Anyway, that perverted boy, Christopher, asked if I could "hook him up" with some of my friends. All of them hate him and he starts making very weird loud noises in the class. How can I stop him from liking my friends and I?

ok so I have heard about visualization for healing but its hard, but I recently figured I would do it right before I enter sleep because its easy to visualize then. So I visualize like a army of cells coming to my injury and healing it, like a vacum cleaner sucking away the bad cells and making new ones. Anyways ive only done it two nights but one night I really got into it with sounds and all in my mind before I eventually fell asleep. But this seems like a much more powerful and effective way to do this, right before dream state so your visualizations come alive. Anyone had any success with this? Thanks

What cataclysmic, world changing, ground breaking, intensly logical, extremely rational, monumentally sound, perfectly plausible, air tight, finely detailed and overally earth shattering thoughts have you conjured up that will forever change the world?

I would love to know what makes you "free thinking" advocates so "special" that you feel the need to define yourselves from everyone else in a sense that you must be the geniuses of the Earth.

I can't find this information anywhere. All I can find is the fact that it doesn't appear in the Bible. I need to connect the Trinity into this paper about the Holy Spirit, so that's why I need to know

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”

–Luke 15:4-7
